Ballerina
A sneaker stands on its shoe tip and rotates 3 times per second around its axis. The frequences of rotation and flashes of light are timed to each other. The illusion of a stand still object is created in the perception. Only the horizontal flying shoelashes point out that the shoe is rotationg. Light changes the colours. The door of a simple cupboard is opening and closing like a curtain.

a drop
On the top of a locker stands a canister with water. About five times a second drops water through the locker, passes a light barrier and initiates at the same time a flash light. In the inner space of the locker exists the illusion of a still standing drop of water. On its surface you can see the whole space - reminding on a tiny thing of materia floating in empty space or a star somewhere in the space.

two chairs
Two chairs with wheels start with an identic program to move free in the room. They are linked via transmitter: master and recipient. By obstacles in the room they fall out of step – but find back together in the viewers eye as a dancing couple.
five scissors
Five scissors are positioned in a circle. They follow a composed choreography of movements - it remindes of synchronous swimming. The opening and closing of the scissor blades are caused by compressed air. Metallic sound mixes with the technical breathing system. Soundscape changes according to the dynamic of the choreography of the blades.

terrarium
Several constructions with metall levels are positioned in a glass box. Electromagnetic field is generated by an influence machine at the one end of the table. In these fields little objects start to move slightly and slowly like strange creatures. You recognize the specific smell of torn apart electrons. Another construction grounds the tension in intervalls: all objects fall down. After a break movement starts again according to the growing electromagnetic field.
two forks
An influence machine generates elektromagnetic fields. Two forks are linked to the positive and the negative loaded field. Tension is released and blue visible lightnings link the forks for a moment.
skipping rope machine / virtual volume
A motor drives a rope. A lying spindle shape is inscribed into the space. The movement of the rope defines a virtual volume. The room is filled with the sound of the rope in the air. The installation is adjusted to the requirements of different places: for example hits the ceiling and leaves a track behind.
